They're called reverse taper. Does that mean you need to wire them 'backwards' for them to follow the usual logic of clockwise = more?
I thought it was just a different taper with a confusing name but I don't get to see C taper pots much. Now I'm designing a thing based loosely off the dod 250. I used an a1m pot for gain which is more like an on/off switch. Seeing the original used a C taper pot got me thinking and confused.
0 is still 0, 10 is still 10 right? Just how you get there is different according to the taper? Or is 0 = 10 and 10 = 0.
I've not had enough coffee for this.
